Deepen the Art at Hand experience with a volunteer-led program in your community. Enjoy conversation, close looking, and creativity in this hands-on, interactive experience.

In 2025, the program theme is “Clay Connects.” Get to know three generations of women from the Naranjo family, whose artistic lineage and legacy were born in the ancestry of Kha'po Owingeh (Santa Clara Pueblo) in northern New Mexico. From one generation to the next, they have created and told stories using clay. While their use of clay unites them, each artist has found her own voice and creative expression in the medium. Their art shows us how clay connects: to place, across generations and time, and to one another.

Program fee: $150, includes all materials. If cost is a barrier, please share this in the program inquiry form.

Art at Hand boxes are provided free of charge to older adult communities. Help support this community resource by designating your donation as “Creative Aging” in the drop-down menu.
